In our weekly Air Yards Breakdown, we’ll take a look at who led the NFL in this category and also go one step further. Air yards can be further split into or “prayer yards.” Prayer yards are just what they sound like—air yards on passes that are deemed uncatchable. In other words, targets that the receiver doesn’t have a prayer of catching. Prayer yards lead to a player’s boom-bust potential.

The Yankees made the biggest move of the MLB offseason thus far, trading for star outfielder Juan Soto on Wednesday night. While many New York fans were asking for the trade, one Yankees legend called his shot months before the deal went through.
At the MLB All-Star Game in July, Derek Jeter said he wanted to see the Yankees trade for Soto to improve their team. While Jeter was first talking about the trade deadline, San Diego chose to hold off on trading Soto until the offseason and New York pounced the moment he was available, making Jeter’s wish come true.
Even if you’ve watched hockey for your entire life, I guarantee you’ve never seen what happened in Toledo on Wednesday before. We’ve all seen some wild penalties before, but I can’t recall a player ever being handed a 10-minute misconduct for causing (the hockey kind) a chicken nugget into the crowd.
It has now happened to Kirill Tyutyayev of the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye.
The Walleye were hosting the Kalamazoo Wings for a morning game on Wednesday. This is the kind of thing that minor league teams do so that school groups could be in attendance.

Do not watch the bad football game. You have agency
We have reached Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season.
Which kicks off tonight on Thursday Night Football when the Pittsburgh Steelers — with Mitchell Trubisky at the helm in place of an injured Kenny Pickett — will host the Bailey Zappe-led New England Patriots, who at 2-10 are facing playoff elimination.
This … is certainly an NFL football game. One with an Over/Under set at 30, reminiscent of a Black Friday game a few weeks ago between Iowa and Nebraska.
Always bet responsibly.
Stephen A. Smith is the Abraham Lincoln of butts.
Water is wet. Taxes are inevitable. The Stephen A. Smith Show devolved into horny mayhem. Three great truths of out time, with SAS being the wildest of them all.
On Wednesday night Stephen A. spent almost FIVE MINUTES launching off a question about the type of woman he likes, and turning into his personal manifesto.

It’s a ranging treatise on the women he likes, why he likes them, and how Stephen A.
Luka Doncic had himself quite a night against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday by recording a triple-double in the first half of his Dallas Mavericks’ 147-97 win. He managed to put on a show after the game too.
Speaking on the postgame show after the Mavs’ win, Doncic explained that prior to tip off he told his teammates “you know, we just can’t f**k around.” Half a second later when he realized he had just cursed on television, he apologized in rather unique fashion by using another curse word: s**t.
“I said before the game, you know, we just can’t fuck around, and, uh….
Colorado coach Deion Sanders just made what could be his most pivotal hire of the offseason. Former Vikings tackle Phil Loadholt is joining Sanders’s staff as the Buffaloes’ new offensive line coach, as first reported by BuffZone’s Brian Howell.
Loadholt has spent the last two seasons as an offensive line analyst for Oklahoma and will replace former Buffaloes offensive line coach Bill O’Boyle, who accepted a job at San Diego State earlier this week.
Wednesday was School Education Day for the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye and one member of the home team got an education in the hockey rule book.
The game against the Kalamazoo Wings began at 10:35 a.m. with 7,529 fans in attendance, many of them schoolchildren. Midway through the second period, one of the kids did something that might have earned them a detention if it had occurred at school. During a faceoff in the Toledo zone, an object went flying onto the ice. According to Mark Monroe of the Toledo Blade, it was a chicken nugget thrown by one of the kids in the crowd.
On Feb. 3, 2019, the Pats won their sixth championship under Bill Belichick. It’s been a slow descent to their current 2-10 record. Here’s how it happened.
Duke is expected to hire Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz as its next head coach, Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger reports.
Diaz is best known for his time as the Miami head coach, leading the Hurricanes from 2019 to ’21 after the school promoted him from defensive coordinator. He won at least six games each season with Miami, totaling a 21–15 record. The program fired him after the ’21 regular season.
Penn State quickly hired Diaz as its defensive coordinator once he became available, and the veteran coach has been with the Nittany Lions for the past two seasons.
